5 Ingredient No Bake Fudge Drops

There are certain days when a girl just needs her chocolate and yesterday was one of those days for me. Why I didn’t just have a handful of chocolate chips and be done with it is beyond me. Sometimes I over complicate things… I think it’s the Taurus in me.

My chocolate themed day began with a batch of protein pudding made from tofu, raw cacao and honey. It was really good, but far too rich to actually indulge in. If you’re like me with your chocolate, you want to sit in front of the TV with a spoon and go to town on the mound of chocolate before you. This pudding didn’t let me do that so, back to the kitchen I went to come up with something better.

Then I thought baking the pudding in something may help dull down the sweetness. Seconds later I was throwing ingredients in a large mixing bowl in hopes that the final result would resemble chocolate fudge clif bars. There was no time for planning a recipe, I was in the zone.

As luck would have it, 10 minutes in the oven turned the chocolate mounds into heavy artillery. Who knew that combining oats, pudding, and almond flour could be so lethal?

I was about to give up when I remembered the drops recipes I created last year. There was mojito, cashew lemon, spiced flax, and peanut butter banana but never a chocolate version… seems wrong, doesn’t it?

In the end, I surprised myself with a recipe that couldn’t be simpler. I just wish I’d thought of it before I wasted an entire block of tofu, a perfect bag of chocolate chips, and half a day. But whatever, I had fun and my house still smells like melted chocolate.

In the bowl of a processor or blender, combine coconut milk, medjool dates, and coconut oil until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until fully incorporated.

Using a tablespoon, spoon mixture onto prepared baking sheet and place in the freezer for 1 hour, or fridge for 3.

Once a bit more solid, roll each drop of fudge into a ball and place in a plastic container.

Seal container and return back to freezer until ready to eat.

Notes

I chose cashini and/or coconut butter because they’re harder at room temperature and will help to hold the balls together better than say an almond butter or peanut butter. Although I haven’t tried it, you could try omitting the milk and using ½ cup of the nut butter of your choice.

Praise

I just wanted​ to send you a message telling you how much I enjoy listening to your podcast. I found you on Instagram right as I decided to try keto. You have been so inspirational and I have learned so much from you. I tell my friends that I binge listened to your podcast because I listened to every episode since April this year, and I have enjoyed every one of them. I listen to them mostly while I’m running and get to the end of my run without even realizing it because I have been so focused on the information I’m hearing. I also wanted to tell thank you for the quality of the content that you share. I just wanted to share with you that I have enjoyed your show from the beginning but now that I’m caught up and trying to find another show I realized just how much I enjoyed it. Thank you for all you do for this community.

I found your podcast just before I decided to try Keto. I was on my way home from a weekend in Boston and was driving back to NJ (February 2017) I listed to your podcast the entire ride and not only did I learn so much about Keto but I was fully inspired. I continue to eat Keto and listen to every podcast every week; it continues to inspire and teach me. I have lost 17 pounds and truly upped my game when in comes to my work outs — keto (and Leanne) have changed my life.

Just wanted to thank you for being you, Leanne! I started binge watching your channel about two weeks ago and committed to keto after listening to your stories. We have a lot of parallels and I was suffering from extreme exhaustion and adrenal fatigue. Two weeks later and I’m already feeling SO much better!

When I was raw vegan, my gut played up severely and I was never full. My moods were erratic, and when I added cooked carbs and beans, my colitis flare-ups were pretty much a daily occurrence. After years of estrogen dominance and PCOS, I’m so pleased with keto now. In addition to that, I got the best news today– I got my period. (It stopped months ago.) You have given me the courage to let my body balance and heal. I stopped the progesterone and testosterone treatments and started keto, and things are starting to happen. I’m only a few weeks in and I feel like this is the missing piece of the puzzle.

 Janita

I have listened to all of your podcasts and YouTube videos over the past couple of weeks and both books as well. To tell the truth, I am on my 4th listening of Fat Fueled! I truly enjoy learning from someone who is so enthusiastic yet accepting of how different we all are from each other with “All Of The Things!”

 Alice

I have been on and off keto for years. I purchased the Keto Bundle a few days ago and read the whole book today. You answered questions I got from nowhere else – why I can’t sleep – why my carbs and calories are too low – thank you!

 Robin

Leanne, I love you and your fabulous work! I am a type 1 diabetic living a low carb lifestyle. Finding your program Fat Fueled and your keto way was life changing and liberating for me. You have an amazing ability to think outside the box! Hugs from Germany <3

 Johanna

LOVE your “listen to your body” approach! My friend and I talk about what you share almost daily!

 Kristin

I would like to thank you for website, podcast, You Tube videos, weekly emails, and The Keto Diet Cookbook. I have been keto for about 3 weeks now and I feel like I have a tremendous amount of support from you. I have struggled with my body for years and ever since I found you, I have been rethinking my whole image philosophy. Thank you!

 Kelli

After my gallbladder was removed, my depression and anxiety got worse. I searched on YouTube and I found an awesome girl who was kind, encouraging and smart. That is our Leanne Vogel. I listen to her podcast 24/7 and I have lost 25 pounds. Above all my anxiety and depression is 80% better. Today’s podcast about the gallbladder is so timely. Thank you, Leanne, for your kindness in sharing your journey with everyone.

I’ve been struggling with several health conditions for over 10+ years and I’m only 28. This last year has been particularly tough as my husband and I began unsuccessful fertility treatments and I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. I was in a very bad place at the end of 2017 mentally, physically, and emotionally. I turned to keto under your support and for the first time in a year, I could get out of bed. It was your support through your podcast and the resources you provide us that has given me the strength to stand up for myself and love myself again. You have given me the courage to start my own blog and share my story, something I thought I would never, ever have the guts to do. I just want to thank you for showing such strength and reminding me that I have the power over my thoughts and feelings about myself.

I’m new to the keto diet and am so grateful I’ve found healthfulpursuit.com– down to earth, approachable, holistic, but most of all, speaking to women’s specific needs. I find the lack of shame and the use of real food to be refreshing. Thank you for being a rational, reasonable voice. It’s the honesty that caught my eye.

I have struggled with body issues and depression/anxiety since I was a pre-teen. When I became pregnant with my daughter, I made the conscious decision to make myself healthy and did all the “normal” things. It was so restrictive and unnatural for me that I gave it up and gained the weight back. After doing a little more research, I discovered keto. Almost as if it were meant to be, I found Leanne Vogel on Pinterest, who inspired me to find the diet that made me feel good. I’m now nearly 25 pounds lighter, and so much happier! I love my body for the first time.

 Haley

I love this program! After watching some of Leanne’s videos, I decided to take a risk by eating high-fat. My body has healed SO MUCH over the past few months. Fat fueled is an awesome guide to eating high fat and healing your body.

 Luise

I am so glad that I discovered your website, healthfulpursuit.com, and your fantastic podcasts! I have read a lot about how a keto diet could be beneficial for endurance athletes like me who race long-distance triathlons (Olympic and Half-Ironman distances), and I have already experienced this during my training sessions over this past couple of weeks, as I started doing some fasting and training in a fasted state: my energy levels are just never-ending, I can bike or run for hours, and there is no “hitting the wall” feeling anymore! So using fats as your primary fuel totally ROCKS :)
